Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a chronic, clinically complex, and neglected disease. Its prevalence in Italy, a country of medium to high endemicity, remains poorly defined, as notification has long ceased to be mandatory.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. We set up a retrospective cohort study involving all CE patients followed at our institute between January 2005 and December 2012. Demographical and clinical features were recorded and analyzed.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. CE was found in 28 patients (64.3%), mostly Italians from the central regions (50%), followed by subjects from the islands (33.3%) and Southern Italy (16.7%). Their median age was 45 years (IQR: 38.5\u201366.5), with Eastern Europeans being significantly younger (28 years, IQR: 19\u201339) than other patients (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>\u2264<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.0001<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>). A total of 149 cysts, mostly with hepatic localization (96%), were described. Based on the WHO classification, the cysts were mainly small (80.5%) and active (CE1 (73.8%); CE2 (7.4%)). Active cysts were more common in Eastern Europeans (85.7%) than Italians (66.7%).<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our data confirm CE occurrence in Italy. We emphasize the importance to have a national CE registry, opportunely recently introduced. This is essential to assess CE prevalence in this country, implement appropriate control measures, and improve patient management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/978146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,14]],"date-time":"2013-09-14T17:01:16Z","timestamp":1379178076000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Cystic Echinococcosis in a Single Tertiary Care Center in Rome, Italy"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Linda","family":"Petrone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational Research Unit, Department of Epidemiology and Preclinical Research, \u201cL.
